<p>ay sorry to bother you cc'ers but I have a quick question idk if anybody can shed any light on this.
It's my dream to go to Dartmouth and be a math major b/c my mom went here haha..
Im a sophomore in high school right now but just planning ahead....This is my current "math resume" anything you guys think I should do? that would help me get admitted as a math major?
PS. I know its not just being good at math, you gotta be well rounded, but just wondering any specifics the math department looks for?
Freshman Year Sophmore Year
(A) in Calc BC 5 on exam (A) in multivariable calculus
(A) in AP Stats 5 on exam (A) in ap comp sci (not sure what I got on exam just took it)
Junior Year Tests?
taking vector calculus at the local college 36 act math 800 Sat2 math level 2
-doing research this summer for a prof at IIT 800 sat math
132 amc 10 ......7/15 AIME</p>
<p>Dartmouth: Reach (at least it’s reachable)</p>
<p>What are your safeties?</p>
<p>The schools will look to see if you took the most rigorous courses you can take each year-I’d say someone taking AP maths in fresh/soph year are well prepared (the girl I knew who got into Princeton engineering did AP maths starting either junior/senior year-but it kind of depends on what the other kids at your school are doing too)</p>
<p>Haha thanks and yea I go to a good public school in the suburbs of Chicago…most kids start geometry freshman yr…about 150 kids took alg 2 trig freshman year, I think a handful 5 took pre calc freshman year…im the only one with these courses in my grade</p>
<p>haha not sure yet, a sophomore kinda lost in the whole college process, any ideas to make the school more reachable? math wise speaking… I have a multitude of other ap classes</p>
<p>Yeah, you look like you’re on track to get in. A IMO gold medal would probably guarantee your admission. Good luck.</p>
